I’d say sequestration is pretty much a guaranteed thing at this point. Maybe not the best way of handling the mess but it’s the only acceptable point. What the President might not want to admit in public....it was Harry Reid who drafted the whole sequestration text.

To get to the real three points here. First, you have a tax system (70k pages) that is corrupted and needs total reform. Neither party will touch the topic though.

Second...the game of running a government ‘candy-store’ only works if you have a booming or positive economy. We haven’t exactly been in positive numbers for a few years (we don’t manufacture that much anymore in our own country).

Third and final...the media’s attempt to explain everything is like asking a drunk to explain nuclear fusion. You eventually realize that you have to ask a ton of questions to figure out what the facts are, and then ration yourself to a few trusted sources.

I think sequestration is the best thing. Once the economy stumbles and slows there will incredible pressure on the liberals to reduce marginal tax rates and broaden the base. The “tax the rich” argument is nonsense, but it plays well to the people.
